— Marcos Barros, recipient of the Entrepreneurial Excellence Award at the Dubai 2025 Edition of the Founders 2.0 Conference, was recently featured in New York’s Times Square. This accolade builds upon his recognition at the Founders 2.0 Conference held from December 8–10, 2025, at the InterContinental DFC, Dubai, UAE, where founders, investors, and business leaders gathered to explore innovative approaches shaping the future of startups, leadership, and organizational impact.
Marcos Barros’ feature in one of the world’s most visible public venues marks a significant moment for professionals who merge strategic clarity with hands-on mentorship. It reflects the rising global appreciation for leaders whose expertise in organizational frameworks, behavioral insight, and execution-driven strategy supports sustainable business impact across industries.
Marcos Barros is the CEO and Founder of Oxford Business Masters (UK), a bestselling author, and a keynote speaker at international events, including Workpath (Germany), ExpoJud at the University of Lisbon, and ExpoJud in Brazil. As an advisor and mentor, he has supported the launch and growth of over 20 new businesses. Through his consultancy, Marcos has led the largest OKR implementations in the public and third sectors in Latin America, positioning his firm as a market leader. He combines deep entrepreneurial expertise with a passion for behavioral sciences, offering original and practical insights that shape his work and deliver meaningful impact.
Marcos’ acknowledgment in Times Square underscores the increasing global recognition of innovators whose guidance strengthens organizations and empowers leaders. His achievements continue to demonstrate how strategic execution, mentorship, and a clear operational framework can enhance team performance, drive founder success, and create enduring value across both private and public sectors.
“This recognition truly belongs to the leaders and public servants we have the privilege of working with.
Receiving the Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award at the Founders 2.0 Conference in Dubai is not about individual achievement. It is about the organisations in the public and third sectors that choose to challenge inertia, take responsibility for execution, and transform ambitious plans into real outcomes for society.
Every day, we work alongside leaders who operate under intense scrutiny, limited resources, and complex governance environments — yet still commit to improving performance, strengthening public value, and engaging their people. Their willingness to adopt disciplined execution through OKRs, supported by behavioural science and Artificial Intelligence, is what makes meaningful transformation possible.
At Oxford Business Masters, our role is simple: to serve as guides, not protagonists. The real impact happens inside ministries, courts, agencies, hospitals, NGOs, and public institutions that decide to move from intention to action.
I am grateful to the Founders 2.0 Conference for this recognition, and deeply grateful to every client who trusts us with work that truly matters — work that affects millions of lives.
This award reinforces our responsibility to continue supporting those who carry the weight of public purpose every day.”
His ongoing endeavors and exceptional achievements reaffirm his commitment to advancing entrepreneurship, leadership development, and structured strategy implementation. Through his work, he exemplifies how disciplined execution, informed behavioral understanding, and founder-focused support can cultivate resilient organizations and contribute meaningfully to the broader business landscape.
